Centro (verizon) won't import my addresses

I used to use a Zire 72 till it was stolen.  I bought a Palm Centro, but it didn't see my addresses.  When I import using the .vcf card file I made, it says that there are too many entries. 
Is there any hope?  Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

When I attempt to import it into contacts, it says
" Error occured while importing the Vcard file. The file may not be a valid Vcardfile or there are too many entries."
It just doesn't like it, but I exported it out of Palm Desktop..... so....
Why would the other selections only copy the first contact even though I had them all selected?  Not that knowing will help me now.
also, I am disappointed that the grey colors of this version of the palm desktop isn't at all as pleasing as the blue/ black of the older version.  Not very nice to look at compared to the other.  Can I change that?  I use it alot.

  • Address Book Won't Import... help?

    Hi All. My address book will import a .csv file if I just use a couple of fields, name, company, phone.
    But if I want the rest, all seems normal, until I click on 'OK'.. then the blue OK button turns off and no import. The app is still alive and working, just won't import a full list of fields... I have tried deleting the cache, no difference. Suggestions?
    Thanks for your time.

    Thanks Austin... you may have noticed my recent smattering of posts regarding email, address book and importing - two of which you have been kind enough to reply to, thank you.
    I am migrating 6 years of msn/goldmine (frustrations) to Contactizer and am running into a few minor anomoles. Although Contactizer uses the same database as ABook, ABook would not import the address fields, but Contactizer did... so that one is done.
    However, there are many multiple contacts in there - but after running 'look for duplicate records' ABook always returns none,... and Contactizer does not provide duplicate checking. Go figure...
    I received your earlier email regarding the applescript, thanks. Still looking at that one though, I can't seem to make sense of it... I'll keep going back to it.
    Regards.

  • Address Book won't import photos from iPhoto

    Address Book won't import photos from iPhoto. It's greyed out. Any solution?

    iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
    iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
    You need to do the following:
    1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application. 
    2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
    3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

  • Centro datebook won't sync, no errors

    I have had my Palm Centro 3 months and have not had problems syncing since I got it, but it has stopped syncing my calender/datebook and contacts/addresses.  I am running Windows XP home and Palm access 6.2.2 (hotsync version 7.0.2).  I previously used a Palm Zire 72 and upgraded to the centro in Sept.
    When I sync, I do not get an error message and it does not hang up/delay anywhere, it just completely skips the datebook and addresses, seems to jump in at "6 of 12".
    In the hot sync manager, everything is checked, including the date book and address book.  I have tried syncing as "synchronize the files", "handheld overwrites desktop" and "desktop overwrites handheld", but it does not change.
    I have DbFixIt and I have no corrupted files on the palm centro.  I have gone into palm desktop>tools>options>Tools> to check for any corrupted files on the desktop, with no corrupted files found. 
    I have deleted the desktop from my computer and reinstalled from the disc that came with my phone.
    I sync to palm desktop (not outlook) and have made sure the palm conduit sync is syncing with palm and not outlook.  I have performed a soft reset.  I am syncing on the correct User name.
    I have scoured these boards for any other ideas.
    I am ready to throw in the towel, but I love my centro and have used palm for 5 years now and hate to give it up.
    I have done everything but a hard reset, but before I did that I wanted to see if anyone else had any other ideas.
    And, my husband's centro sync fine, no problems, while syncing the datebook and address book fine, on the same computer, on the same palm desktop program.  So, I am thinking that the problem in on my palm as opposed the palm desktop program itself.
    See below for a copy of my sync log:
    HotSync session completed with errors on 12/06/08 00:30:54

  • Can't import mail/address book from Outlook, old drive, old OS

    Recently my wife's G4 died and we bought another. We transferred my wife's the old drive which was running OS9 (I know, she was just hard to convert)and added it to the new G4 as a secondary drive and also as a means of transferring the data. She ws using Outlook in OS 9 and it and the microsoft <user> files reside there (on her old drive). As a result, as good as Mail is in importing from other apps, it won't import from Outlook unless it's running.
    To run it, I have to launch Classic but after doing so and starting Outlook, it will now not 'see' the email and address book files...even though at the finder level I can see the 300 megs worth of emails in the Microsoft documents folder....
    Argghhhhh! This is business stuff and I'm desparate...can anyone think of a way to get at least the address book imported into Mail, even though I didn't think to output the entire list as a comma file before the old drive died?
    I would be most grateful for any help.....!!

    This is a very common issue ... so much that a specialized solution exists. I had to deal with it when I converted from the evil PC world. Go to littlemachines.com, look at O2M. It worked very well for me ... but:
    The caveat is: it runs on a PC ... intended for one-way-one-time migration out of the evil empire. So, if your Outlook data (.PST file) currently lives on a Mac, you would need to get it on a PC ... and I've never tried that, so I don't know if it works.

  • Centro desktop won't install over earlier palm desktop and can't un-install old version

    The Centro CD won't install the Centro Access Palm desktop
    desktop - it stops and says I must de-install existing Palm desktop as it won't upgrade the earlier version.
    Trouble is, I can't de-install Sony palm desktop. It is in c:\program
    files but doesn't appear in control panel / add remove prgrams; didn't
    allow revo to de-install it.
    I tried just plugging in the Centro but windows could find usb drivers
    (presumably)
    So i'm a bit stuck. HELP!

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    That was the next step.
    I just needed to know what the OS of the PC was and the version of Palm desktop so I could tell you where to look for the correct folders.
    Here is some more info. for you.
    Click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.
    http://www.palm.com/us/support/centro/centro_gsm/
    There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc. 
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

  • IPhoto won't import all photos at once

    I just got iPhoto 08 and also got a new camera. The iPhoto will not import all the photos from the camera (more than 100), but will importa a few selected, seems to accept about 5-6 max. Also, after doing that a couple of times, it won't import any more. It seems that if I start all over, unmount the camera and start all over, it will again allow me to import a few more photos. I still have 96 more to go. This is just awful. With the old iPhoto and the old camera, it was just so easy to import all the photos from my camera at once. I have over 5000 photos on the computer. I am really frustrated. I did not see this question addressed on the discussion board, and I'm wondering what I should do. The camera is a Sony Cybershot DSC-W80.

    Lisa C:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't know of a solution but as a workaround you can use Image Capture, its preferences set which application to open when a camera is connected, to upload to a folder on the Desktop and then import the folder. If you title the folder as you want the Event to be titled it will create the Event with that name.
    I use a card reader to do the same as it will save the camera's ports and battery and avoid possible upload aborts due to low battery and large number of photos to upload.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Hotsync Centro (Verizon) to ms exchange

    I need help please.  I have a new Centro (Verizon) which I am trying to sync to my work calendar and contacts (email is not important but would be nice).  The work stuff is on an exchange server so when I sync the centro to my outlook, nothing is being synced. Is there a way to sync all of my work stuff with my Centro without doing it wirelessly (I do not have a data plan).
    Thanks in advance

    That does help. Thank you. From the log file it shows that it is not set to Outlook. So I would have you uninstall the Desktop. Make sure when you uninstall that you delete this folder as well. C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One. Restart your PC and install Palm Desktop pick Outlook and sync.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks

  • Can I import email addresses from a contact group into a new email?

    Import email addresses?  I'm trying to send an electronic invitation to a group of about 50 people.  I have to enter each of their email addresses, and rather than typing them one by one, I'm wondering if I can import all of their email addresses from a group I created in my Address Book.  I'm sending the invitation through the company's website, nut my email, so the email address does not appear when I start typing their names.  Thanks!

    Open a new message and start typing the groups name in the 'To' field works for me. Some e-mail providers have limits on how many addressees can be in one e-mail.

  • Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB to iPhone or iPad and permits only syncing by iCloud, which I don't want to use.  Any ideas on how to sync without using iCloud?

    Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB cable from my MacBook Air to my iPhone and iPad and permits  syncing only by iCloud.  Mountain Lion permitted this via the Info tab on iTunes.  I don't want to use iCloud.  Any ideas with Maverick on how to sync Address Book and Calendar from computer to iPhone and iPad without using iCloud?

    ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
    I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting  citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in  the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US  Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will  interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do  not want that either.
    I  chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have  relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can  no longer do that.
    Whoever  made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about  the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by  this.
    I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
    In the meantime - thanks for the work around

  • IMovie HD won't import from Sony HDR-HC1

    iMovie HD 5.0.2 (111) on my G5 desktop controls, but won't import from, my new little Sony HDR-HC1 1080i DV camcorder. Same was the case with my 12" 1 GHz PowerBook until, at the advice of a Manhattan Beach Genius Bar tech, I did an archive reinstall of 10.4 and a reinstall of iMovie HD on both my G5 PowerMac and G4 PowerBook and then downloaded all the updates. Now my PowerBook works, but my PowerMac still won't import. On an empty second HD in my PowerMac I installed OS 10.4 and iMovie HD ONLY (to create as sterile as possible of an environment), made the 2nd HD my startup drive, and still iMovie HD on my PowerMac will not import from this camera (although it will from an older Sony VX-1000 regular def camcorder).
    Does anybody have any solutions, or any idea why iMovie HD now imports on my PowerBook but after the same makeover still won't on my PowerMac?
    Per earlier posts, I tried playing some piano notes in Garage Band, trashing the iMovie preference files, and reinstalling QuickTime (the tech had heard QT 7.0.3 could be at fault from becoming corrupted in certain updating combinations), all to no avail.
